Turkey Lurkey
« Reply #-1 on: November 26, 2020, 07:50:22 PM »
I brined a turkey for 24 hours or so, took it out, rinsed it, patted dry and let hang out in the fridge for 2 days to dry the skin. Today I pulled it from the fridge and injected with creole butter. Smoked it on the KBQ at 275 to 300 until done. It was excellent, even had crispy skin!

Served with homemade yeast rolls that I made this morning and let proof. Other sides were cranberry sauce made with fresh cranberries and orange liqueur, smoked pepperjack mac that my daughter made, shoepeg corn, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy made with the drippings and sweet potato souffle. Good stuff!






There is also a pecan pie that Steph made from scratch (not pictured)

Happy Thanksgiving y'all!

The rolls are the same recipe that I use for the burger buns, just 46g instead of 92g and I place them close so as when they proof, they become one big puffy thing. They are magical!

I only took a little gravy since I didn't taste it before applying, lol! It was good though. I only ate one plate so I never went back for more.

As for the Turkey, thank you! It did turn out nice, the skin was crispy which is always a bonus, the 2 day dry out in the fridge was key. I may have me a turkey sandwich for lunch now that I am thinking about it :)
